the survey

a man you see
nearly every day is on
the corner with his
sign and red plastic
bucket. he's bearded
and disheveled.
but today he's wearing
a bright red tie
on his plaid shirt
argyled with various
stains from assorted
meals. you say hey.
drop a dollar into
the green salad of bills
and rattling coins.
but today he hands
you a card before
you can walk away
and says, please go
to my website and fill
out this survey, let me
know how i'm doing.
thanks, have a nice day.
